More quotes by Epicurus
Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.
Epicurus
Men are so thoughtless, nay, so mad, that some, through fear of death, force themselves to die.
Epicurus
There is nothing terrible in life for the man who realizes there is nothing terrible in death.
Epicurus
So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since for the former it is not, and the latter are no more.
Epicurus
Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.
Epicurus
Of all the means to insure happiness throughout the whole life, by far the most important is the acquisition of friends.
Epicurus
Without confidence, there is no friendship.
Epicurus
We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink.
Epicurus
All sensations are true pleasure is our natural goal.
Epicurus
Death is nothing to us: for that which is dissolved is without sensation and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us.
Epicurus
I would rather be first in a little Iberian village than second in Rome.
Epicurus
To be rich is not the end, but only a change, of worries.
Epicurus
Fortune seldom troubles the wise man. Reason has controlled his greatest and most important affairs, controls them throughout his life, and will continue to control them.
Epicurus
The mind that is much elevated and insolent with prosperity, and cast down with adversity, is generally abject and base.
Epicurus
My garden does not whet the appetite it satisfies it. It does not provoke thirst through heedless indulgence, but slakes it by proffering its natural remedy. Amid such pleasures as these have I grown old.
Epicurus
The guilty man may escape, but he cannot be sure of doing so.
Epicurus
Pleasure is the first good. It is the beginning of every choice and every aversion. It is the absence of pain in the body and of troubles in the soul.
Epicurus
Gratitude is a virtue that has commonly profit annexed to it.
Epicurus
He who has peace of mind disturbs neither himself nor another.
Epicurus
The pleasant life is not produced by continual drinking and dancing, nor sexual intercourse, nor rare dishes of sea food and other delicacies of a luxurious table. On the contrary, it is produced by sober reasoning which examines the motives for every choice and avoidance, driving away beliefs which are the source of mental disturbances.
